Prospect Info: #69(nice)OA - Hurricanes select LHD Alexander Nikishin (Spartak - KHL)

Man I miss kuznetsov already. I was rewatching the rangers series from last year and he really was one of our best forwards in it

Sounds like we might be trying to leverage Nikishin having his salary cut in half to get him over sooner.

Nikishin is almost certainly agreeing to a reduced salary in exchange for being released immediately after SKA's season ends. Playoffs start 26 March. Otherwise he'd have to wait until 31 May when all expiring KHL contracts officially terminate.
New Jersey's Gritsyuk agreed to the same thing.

I want to watch Nikishin school some fools
